A Brief History Of The Huguenots And Three Family Trees Chastain Lochridge Stockton

Chastain genealogy is traced back to Chateigner, Seigneur de la Chateignier of France (fl. 1084). His descendant Peter Chastain (1660-1729) and Marie Madaline de la Rochefaucauld (1666-1726) emigrated to Powhatan Co., Virginia in 1699 with their six children. The Lochridges or Loughridges descend from James Lochridge and Susan Goodwin of Carnesville, Franklin Co., Georgia, who had eight children born to them in the early 1800s. The Stocktons descend from William Stockton, who came with his family from Ireland to the Sugar Loaf Valley, near Russellville, Kentucky about 1780; and Mary Morrow, who bore him sixteen children. They later settled in Madison and Walker Co., Alabama and Monroe Co., Mississippi.

Comprising more than four decades of research into an American Huguenot family, this 50th Anniversary edition includes Cameron Allen's original articles on "The Sublett (Soblet) Family of Manakintown, King William Parish, Virginia," published since 1963 by the Detroit Society for Genealogical Research, Cameron Allen's chapter on "Huguenot Migrations" from the 1971 book "Genealogical Research, Volume 2," as well as a Preface and two new articles by Cameron Allen published in The American Genealogist: "The Soblets of the European Refuge" and "Ancestral Table of Susanne Brian, Wife of Abraham Soblet." With more than 1,000 footnotes and an index of names, this book is the essential starting point for all researchers of Soblet/Sublett/Sublette family genealogy.

The volume at hand--a reprint of Volume II of the printed records of Cambridge--is a transcription of the records of Cambridge town meetings and meetings of selectmen from the town's beginnings until 1703.
